Treating the most important people in the world,your children

Dr. Lauren Heisinger

Certifications: Board Certified Pediatric Dentist

Dr. Lauren was born and raised on Long Island before making her way up to the Capital District. She attended Hofstra University, where she received both her Bachelor’s and Master’s Degrees in Biology. Prior to attending dental school, she worked as a graduate laboratory assistant in the Hofstra Microbiology department, and also as an adjunct professor teaching Biology to undergraduate students. Dr. Lauren then went on to receive her Doctor of Dental Surgery from Stony Brook University School of Dental Medicine. During her senior year, she was awarded the Patricia Lewis Memorial Scholarship in Pediatric Dentistry for her dedication to outreach and pediatric dentistry. Upon graduation from dental school, Dr. Lauren stayed at Stony Brook to pursue her Specialty Certificate in Pediatric Dentistry, where she served as Chief Resident in her second year. During residency, she obtained extensive experience in treating patients with special health care needs, and many dental and facial emergency trauma cases while on call. She completed research in cleft and craniofacial orthopedics during both dental school and residency.

Dr. Lauren is a board-eligible pediatric dentist with the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry. She has also been active in the American Dental Association and the New York State Dental Association. Before moving to the Capital District, Dr. Lauren served on the Board of Directors of the Suffolk County Dental Society for 4 years, while also volunteering on many committees for both the Suffolk and NYS Dental Associations. Dr. Lauren was an alternate delegate at both the NYSDA and ADA House of Delegates meetings, and she recently served as the New Dentist Committee Chair for Suffolk County. Dr. Lauren has been a volunteer faculty member at Stony Brook School of Dental Medicine, where she taught ethics to dental students. She is also devoted to outreach and has traveled to the Dominican Republic, as well as on a Remote Area Mission to Virginia, to treat underserved patients. She has been active in planning and volunteering with the annual Give Kids a Smile event for the last 6 years.

When not treating patients, Dr. Lauren enjoys vacationing in the Adirondacks, hiking, biking and waterskiing. She is also an avid skier, and in her free time enjoys traveling and exploring new ski destinations.

Patient review
moses R.
Family friendly environment. They are great with kids. Dr. Sani and his team are wonderful at being professional and understanding. They understand if your child has a disability, allergy, or other restrictions. My wife and I have been bringing our children here for a long time and will be sad when all our kids graduate from practice.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful review, Moses! We're thrilled to hear that your family has had great experiences with Dr. Sani and our team. We appreciate your trust and look forward to continuing to provide care for your children.

My kids have been going to this office for 16 years. It’s an amazing environment with amazing staff! I’ve watched it grow over these years, they’ve done such a great job creating a fun, safe space for kids when a lot are literally the most scared they’ve ever been (because ya know, dentist lol). Dr Sani is the kindest, most soft spoken person I’ve ever met. My kids have always been in good hands with him & his wonderful team!

Alexis D.
I really appreciated how Dr. Molly and the staff took about 10-15 minutes trying to make my 2 year old son feel comfortable at his first ever dentist appointment. She did not rush him, and worked with me to make sure that he was evaluated at a comfortable level.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Alexis, for your wonderful feedback! We aim to create a comfortable experience for our young patients, and we're glad to hear that Dr. Molly and our team succeeded with your son.
Shirlee D.
My 5 and 6 year old kids actually like going to the dentist. Everyone-from the receptionist to the hygienists to the dentist- are all caring, kind, and wonderful with children. And the office decor is great!
